Milkshake base
submitted about 9 years ago by EpoLina

Hiya,

Trying my hand at creating a 'true' Milkshake base so I can just add variety of fruits. Looking for more than just Strawberries 'n Milk type thing. I want that Milkshake icecream thickness and top it of with whatever I feel like.

 

I've tried my hand working around VBIC (TPA) together with Whipped Cream (TPA), Milk (FW) and Cream Fresh (FA) but I'm just not getting there.

 

Probably flavour wise I did;  

VBIC (TPA) 4%  

Milk (FW) 2,5%  

Whipped Cream (TPA) 2%

 

This got a quite whipped cream milk taste, a bit thin and missing that Ice Cream feeling/note. I'm using Milk (FW) since Milk/Dairy (TPA) was sold out so had to sub it.

 

I got MTS Vape Wizard in my stash as well that I've read about adding weight but I have not yet played around with it as I wanted to get the taste first.

 

My latest attempt was;  

VBIC (TPA) 3%  

Milk (FW) 2%  

Whipped Cream (TPA) 2%  

Cream Fresh (FA) 1%  

Koolada 10% at 2%

 

Just wanted to add Koolada to see if I could get even more 'true' feeling with coldness. But it was just a mess and way to icey.

 

Any and all tips appreciated.

If you are going to use koolada to replicate that "cool" feeling of a milkshake, try .25-.50% instead.

Yeah I've been using at .5% for other mixes but I went ahead and just blasted it out of the ballpark to see what I'd get.

Check out TFA Malted Milk plus TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust for that maltiness you associate with milkshake.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I don't think I have Malted Milk but I think a friend has some I might be able to trade. Guess I can also ask about the percentages I would be playing around at, low I assume?

1 - 1.5%. Play around with it.

I use cheesecake graham crust, fresh cream and CAP VBIC. You definitely need milk and ice cream flavoring, and something to give it maltiness and body - cheesecake in my case, but try small amount of hazelnut or something like CAP Creamy Yogurt etc.

At what percentage would you suggest for these 3?

Last time I used 1.5% fresh cream 2% cheesecake 3% VBIC, it was good but I think it can be better, play around.

Yeah thanks a lot for sharing. I will try that one tonight and will also play around with adding Whipped Cream, Milk, Malted Milk and Creamy Yoghurt

I got Creamy Yogurt (CAP) actually. Just wanted it all so been ordering lots and lots of stuff to get this down. I was afraid of it adding to much of a sour note to the milky taste so I haven't used it yet.  

I also got Cheesecake Graham Crust (TPA) so I can give that a go as well.

Would using marshmallow make sense?

Vienna Cream (FA) Works pretty well. That along with maybe Meringue.

Give this a shot, probably the creamiest milky vape I've vaped to date.

Brand | Flavour | % | ---- | ---- | --- | TFA | Malted milk | 1 TFA | VBIC | 8 TFA | Marshmallow | 3

Marshmallow for mouthfeel, vbic for creamy base notes and malted milk for extra creaminess, at 1% it doesn't add much malt but makes it incredibly milky, any more and I think it might be gross. I usually just vape it with 6% Strawberry ripe and it's pretty perfect. Can also add a minute amount of dragon fruit to mingle with the Strawberry .25 -.50

That looks pretty yum. Maybe I'll have to pick upthat malted milk!

Cheers maynn, let me know if you mix it up. Just mixed up some more after remembering how good it was, definitely hits the spot after a 2 week steep.

Thanks for sharing. I will take a go at it. 3% Marshmallow feels a bit much but maybe it's just because it's TFA and I'm used to FA. How much steep before you feel it's a nice vape?

malted milk tfa 2%

vbic tfa 4%

add 1%whipped cream or cream fresh or sweet cream. some recipes on ELR call for vanilla cupcake @4%. french vanilla creme@2%

the choices are endless but if you search "milkshake" on elr and sort by the ratings tab it will give you a solid start of something that provenly[sp] works

2 days ago I did;

 

VBIC 3%  

Milk 2%  

Whipped Cream 2%  

Cream Fresh 1,5%   CGC 2% / Creamy Yogurt 3% / MTS Wizard 0.5%  

Can't say I liked any of them so far by the taste of going for a creamy Milkshake icecream taste. I also tried with French Vanilla instead of VBIC for the MTS Wizard one at 3%.

 

I will have a go at them again in a few days but I'm skeptical. Also adding Koolada isn't my thing at all as I think the coolness draws too much attention from the flavours so going to drop it all together.

 

So far I'm still liking VBIC 4%, Milk 2,5% and Whipped Cream 2% best. Though I'd REALLY want to check out Malted Milk at this point. I like how CGC added depth but should probably have gone with 1%.

 

I guess my quest continues to get that perfect 'true' Milkshake base.

I'd agree it is quite high but used in conjunction with Strawberry ripe it stops it becoming a floral mess after a couple weeks steep, it's delicious as a shake & vape but gets much creamier given a couple weeks to steep. If you don't use the Strawberry you could probably take it down to around 1.5% - 2.0%. Let me know if you give it a shot 👍

It's marked as private. But it's looks interesting. Though I don't have any Stevia or Vanilla (MF?). I'll have a go at something similar and see what I end up with

Can any flavor company for MF

by NewDripalmost 9 years ago

If you sub MF you will need a strong realistic Vanilla like Holy Vanilla (DIYFS) or Madagascar Vanilla (FA).

What % would you recommend for FA madagascar?

marshmallow seems to help with my strawberry milkshake, at around 2% rounds out a certain "edge" to the flavor and adds sweetness

If you have access to Hangsen creams, they're very good. Also, Whipped Cream already has the Triacetin you'd be wanting from the MTS, so I'd skip that. I haven't had anything turn out well with the MTS.

Hmm but a mix I did with 4% VBIC, 2,5% Milk, 2% Whipped Cream turned out very thin and wispy imo. I'd really wanted it more dense
